Third FediJam is only three days away now, so here are the (potential) themes: Cast your vote, Fediverse! :) Like always, everything is allowed: Vote at random. Vote strategic. Peek at the results first. Ask your friends and followers to vote as well. Whatever has the most votes when March kicks off will be the official (but optional!) theme of our little GameJam! Best of luck!
Haven't joined yet?! https://itch.io/jam/fedi-jam-3
We are planning on running a Glitch game graphics jam sooooooon (ish)
(and in case you have no idea what i'm talking about, its the graphics from this game that got released into public domain https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glitch_(video_game)#Closure_and_fan_relaunches)
It wont only be for games, definitely would love to see what sorts of things ppl make! Some hybrid writing for instance! And I've used a few things for a zine too :)

The #FediJam, a game jam exclusively for users of the Fediverse, will return in 2025! During March, team up with others or go in alone, and... CREATE – A – GAME! Analog or digital, using whatever (non-AI) tools you feel comfortable with.
JOIN NOW: https://itch.io/jam/fedi-jam-3
Boosts VERY appreciated! Spread the word!!!
We decided to go with a positive idea and will develop a sort of cozy adventure game. Pixel art. Nothing too fancy.
How could a solarpunk AI work?
We're only 3 people, so I'm doing sound and music and contribute to text and writing. We're using Godot.

We've released our entry for the Piratesoftware Jam titled "The Life of a Tower". It follows the theme "You are the weapon" and is inspired by classic RTS games and Vampire Survivors.
However, in this game you do not move and you don't have direct control over your minions.
Have fun and enjoy the challenge!
